Found this article...........good luck!!!
In 1983 a profound change in country music began to take root in Nashville. Texas-born George Strait had two Number One hits -- "Amarillo By Morning" and "You Look So Good In Love" -- and paved the way for the neo-traditionalist movement that would put an end to the "Nashville Sound," as well as to country music's post-Urban Cowboy sales slump. Many felt that country music had lost its way, and neo-traditionalists like Strait and those who followed -- Randy Travis, Clint Black, Garth Brooks and Alan Jackson -- would show it how to get back to basics with a sound that stemmed from honky tonk and western swing traditions. A mother-daughter team of musicians calling themselves The Judds hit the country music scene in 1983, and would play a significant role in the transformation; this year they released their first single "Had a Dream (For the Heart)." The neo-traditionalist movement would conquer Nashville in a few short years, its ascendancy marked by the release of the 1986 Randy Travis album Storms of Life, which would sell three million copies and make Travis the first country artist ever to go multi-platinum.

Some suggest the change in country music occured in the mid-90's when Faith Hill and Leann Rhymes started infusing pop into their music. Shania Twain is also another artist who became a pop star along with a country music artist.

Shania is purely yet another nail contained in the coffin, and there are plenty ofthem over the past 30 years, highly because the mid Nineteen Eighties even as us of a huge wigs in the back of the money, were given dollar signs and indications over custom, and keen to foucs on the lower than 30 crowd. previous, us of a replaced into geared in route of the 35 plus age crew, until eventually 1980 the time-honored age of a cuntry authentic 40 artist replaced into 36. in 2005 it replaced into 26! therewent the existence adventure and ow income rural operating type way of existence, and and in got here the attitude dixie flag waving on your face bling bling artist. ever ntice how drawl is over emphasised, and dance steps have replaced nicely manored, tale telling artist? issues continually replace, replace isn't solid. in all fields of song, u.s. is in a waste land era for confident. artist in any kind are mediocre at best. issue is the companises settle on what's produced, that is not artist pushed.

it wasn't just one artist! there were several who contributed to the changing styles. some artists that were around already even changed their habits to accomadate to it. travis tritt has a style all his own no one really can match. im a fan of his work but i aslo love the never changing style of george straigt. i personally believe garth brooks put a step or to in the change of country.
